Sungatulin said that the matches against Spartak are still special for him

Midfielder “Ural” Fanil Sungatulin said that he still had a part of “Spartak” because he spent a lot of time in the Moscow football club.

Sungatulin is a graduate of the Moscow Spartak Academy. At the end of January, Ural reported that it had bought the rights to a 21-year-old player rented from a Moscow club in the summer.

– In early February, I signed a long-term contract with Ural. My goals so far are to develop, start playing at the core of the team and be an active player. Of course, try to progress with each game and bring more benefits to Ural.

To be honest, I didn’t even know how much they paid for me, I didn’t hear about 30 million. I don’t feel pressure about it. Didn’t even think about it. The team has much more expensive players, and there can be pressure.

In a club interview, he spoke about the “Spartak spirit”, but there are no such thoughts anymore. Now I play in the “Ural” and now there is no spirit as such. Perhaps the matches with Spartak are still special for me, because I spent a lot of time in the Moscow club. But I would not say that the mood for the game is very different from other matches. Still, I still have a part of Spartak, I played there for several years.

Does Spartak have the opportunity to catch up with Zenit? I think yes! If they play consistently. The team looked very good. If Zenit makes mistakes in subsequent matches, perhaps yes, Spartak will have a chance. Let’s see what happens next,” Sungatulin told Sport24.

Spartak is second in the RPL standings with 37 points, Ural is 10th with 22 points.
